Ares, God of War

He said, picked up the wooden bowl next to him, took a sip of the boiled water, and then sighed: "But I don't think we have developed the use of fire well. The lion in the next forest today , and killed two brothers from our tribe, seeing us holding torches, that beast is not afraid at all now.”

"Don't think so much, just focus on what's in front of you first." Yakiade said while eating the barbecue, "Let the lion go, we don't have enough manpower now, anyway, as long as we don't get close to its territory , it doesn’t dare to rush directly to our territory, I think it’s better to take care of tomorrow’s prey first, and then talk about other things.”

"You're right." Olipontide nodded: "I heard that someone saw a group of blue sheep coming to the northern hillside today. I'll take my brothers there to see it tomorrow."

"Ah."

A group of human beings ate and drank, and quickly filled their stomachs. After they were full and warm, they became sleepy, so Yagiade and Eurypontide arranged for people to watch over the bonfire tonight, and then they each lay down and fell asleep. On the hay they collected.

But just when they lay down and looked at the starry sky with their eyes open, they suddenly saw a dazzling red light across the sky.

The red light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, and then fell behind the distant horizon.

The red light was reflected in the eyes of Algiades and Eurypontides, and also reflected in the eyes of many humans who looked up at the sky at this time. After witnessing this red comet, they do not know Why, all human beings feel that there is a anger and a desire to fight in their hearts being ignited.

"Euripontides."

Yagiade, who was lying on the ground, suddenly said to his brother:

"I think what you said makes sense. If we can make better use of flames and make flames into weapons, we can kill the lion directly. In this way, our brothers don't have to be inexplicably confused when hunting. tragic death."

He paused and continued:

"Tomorrow morning, let's go and kill that lion."

Chapter 45. You will open up the future for mankind

Early the next morning, the brothers Algiade and Eurypontide got up early and began to plan how to kill the vicious lion that had been entrenched in the nearby woods for many days.

In this era, the number of various races on the land is not as large as in the past, so the male lion entrenched in the woods is not guarded by a group of female lions, only a lonely one.

But this does not mean that it is weaker than the lions of later generations. Now is the age of the gods. Even the most common lion can be called a monster after the AD. The male lion entrenched in the woods, because He grew up in an environment full of ether since he was a child. He is more than five meters long, with fangs that can crush rocks and a pair of strong lion claws that can easily break tree trunks. He is a very terrifying opponent.

But even so, under the influence of the power of a certain god, the strong first-generation humans such as Algiades and Euripontides were not afraid of it. grew up in an ether environment.

So Archiades and Euripontides immediately began to prepare. According to the teaching of Prometheus, they sharpened the sticks, made them into spears one by one, and painted the tips of the spears. Filled with flammable grease, he took kindling, rope and stones and set out on a journey to kill the lion in the next woods.

Because they have been entangled with the lion for a long time, Yagiade and others probably know its behavior rules. At this point in time, the lion should still be sleeping in its lair, which is located in a Among the naturally formed caves, there are all kinds of sundries collected by the lions themselves to keep them dry, as well as the bones of their prey left after they were chewed up.

The Yagiade brothers led the people of the tribe to the lion's cave quietly, and then the two brothers winked at the people behind them. , a trap specifically for this lion.

……

In the cave, the sleeping lion suddenly smelled a dangerous and pungent smell.

It had only smelled this smell before at the place where the group of hairless monkeys stayed, but it was only a faint aftertaste, far less strong than this smell, and this smell also stimulated the stimulant in its body Instinctively, it felt danger and fear.

Following the instinct of wild animals, the male lion opened his eyes, and saw that his den had been shrouded in thick smoke at some point.

It was startled, and before it had time to think, it took a step forward and ran out of the lair. There was smoke in front of it, and there was a huge fire at the door, and the shouts of those hairless monkeys came from beside the fire. The lion will never rush towards the flame, it will only walk around the dangerous light, but under the pressure of death, the male lion directly overcomes the fear of the fire this time, it pounces suddenly, huge The body has already passed the fire that the humans lit at the door of its lair, and fell outside the lair.

The four paws landed on the ground, and before the lion could be happy, the ground under its feet collapsed, revealing a deep crypt, and the crypt was filled with sharpened wooden stakes.

The lion only had time to let out a miserable howl before it fell into the burrow. The sharp wooden stake pierced its skin and penetrated deeply into its body under the heavy weight. When they fell into the trap, beside them, the Yagiade brothers rushed out of the jungle with a large group of humans screaming.

They all held spears made of sharpened wooden sticks in their hands. The grease on the spear tips had been ignited. The spear was thrown towards the lion in the trap, and the spear pierced deeply into the body of the lion that could not dodge, and the flame on the spear tip also ignited its hair, causing the beast to roar miserably stand up.

Finally, after being hit by dozens of spears, the male lion wailed and fell to the ground sideways. Brothers Argiade and Eurypontides each held a spear and came to the lion. In front of the lion, he ruthlessly pierced the spear from the eye socket into the lion's brain, ending its life.

"We made it!"

Seeing the death of the lion, Algiades raised his arms and shouted loudly, and the whole tribe of humans also cheered, but at this moment, Algiades, Eurypontides heard A man's voice.

"You did a good job, both of you are unique warriors, I want to reward you!"

After the voice fell, the brothers Yagiade and Euripontide suddenly found that the clansmen around them disappeared suddenly, and they suddenly came to a fairyland where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

In front of them, a tall and handsome man wearing a battle armor was sitting on a sacred throne, with a huge magic dog crouching beside him.

Seeing this handsome red-haired man, the Yagiade and Oripontide brothers knelt down to him after being dazed for a moment:

"God!"

"Get up, don't be so humble before me."

The god looked at the two brothers with a smile on his face, and introduced himself:

"I am Ares, the god of war. You two brothers face the lion and are not afraid of powerful enemies. I am touched by your courage to fight bravely. I will bless you. You will become my favorite warrior. Victory will be your desire, your blood will be my cloak, the spears in your hands will be my cry, and on the corpses of powerful enemies you have cut down, I will hold a feast for your souls there."

As he spoke, the god lightly tapped the shoulders of the brothers Argyad and Euripontide with his spear. The two Tied brothers suddenly felt that their bodies were filled with a boiling power.

After the blessing was finished, Ares put down his spear, looked at them, and asked:

"I ask you, are you willing to be the warriors of my Ares and fight for the human race?"

The two brothers looked at each other excitedly, then lowered their heads and replied:

"We do!"

"Okay." Ares stood up slowly from the throne with a spear in his hand. With his movements, the huge throne behind him gradually disappeared, revealing the huge tree palace behind him and the tree palace in front of it. open space.

Only then did the two brothers Yagiade and Oripontide see that the open space in front of the tree palace was densely packed with dozens of human beings. Behind him, they stood in a row in an orderly manner.

"Join the ranks, warriors." Ares pointed his spear behind him: "You will open up the future for mankind."
